We started to send our daughter to Ivy Hill in 2018. I was a bit apprehensive as their infant…read moreprogram just opened and was a first time mom. However, those fears were laid to rest as soon as I saw how my daughter blossomed! She practiced walking and talking. She learned to clean up after herself; she throws away her garbage and puts her dishes in the sink- something we did not really teach at home! She learned how to take turns and share most of the time. Moreover, she gets excited to go! I often ask her who she is going to see at school and she identifies her teacher, Ms. Ashley, and her classmates. We could not be happier with our experiences at Ivy Hill. This intimate learning environment fits our family, and more importantly, supports our daughter!

We used to truly love this school, which makes this very hard to write. Unfortunately, there has…read morebeen a serious decline in care, communication, and professionalism. There has been constant staff turnover, frequent shuffling of children from class to class, and very little consistency -- especially for my younger son. Many days I didn't even know what room he would be in. That lack of stability is concerning for young children. There have also been concerns about ratios and a lack of accountability when issues were raised. On one occasion, I picked up my son in a diaper that clearly had not been changed for an extended period of time. I'm also aware of an incident where a child was hurt and parents were not notified. These things are unacceptable. When I mentioned that I was considering switching schools and simply asked what the transition process would look like, management took it upon themselves to decide our last day without me formally giving notice. It felt like the decision was made for us rather than with us. The ultimate dealbreaker was when the owner grabbed me in the hallway and said, "You are really screwing me," in front of my children, other parents, and staff. I have never been spoken to in such a disrespectful and unprofessional manner. I was completely taken aback. As a parent, I will always advocate for my children. It's heartbreaking because we once trusted and appreciated this school. I truly hope meaningful changes are made for the sake of the children and staff. It should also be mentioned that they do have a handful of excellent teachers left, namely Ms Vanessa In Preschool 2. She truly goes above and beyond to her students and her love for teaching show's. She'd be better suited at a school that appreciates her.

We attended Learning Experience in Middletown for almost two years. While it started out great, the…read morelast few months showed a major decline. Staff turnover was extremely high, far beyond what we've seen at other centers. Leadership issues were obvious, and staff morale was very low. The final straw was when our son was injured at school (bloody nose and facial bruising) and we were never notified. There was no incident report available at pickup, and we only learned about the injury ourselves. An incident report was emailed two days later, after we raised concerns. We were not upset about the injury itself -- accidents happen. The issue was the lack of communication, documentation, and accountability. We pulled our twins out the very next day. We have since reported the school to the state over classroom ratio concerns. We are happy to speak privately with parents who are considering this daycare center and would like more information.

What an incredible school. Our first year at Mountain Hill this past school year and I really can't…read moreeven put into words how amazing it was. My son loved it so much some days he didn't even want to leave! The staff is incredible, the teachers are amazing. The school is run so efficiently and safety is a top priority. The students are all cared for as if they were their own children. From the moment we dropped our son off on the first day, to pickup on the last day, I never had to worry about him and that's a beautiful thing. We are looking forward to many more years ahead at Mountain Hill!
